The document shares three stories that illustrate the resourcefulness of NCOs compared to officers. In the first story, an NCO volunteers to let go of a rope holding 11 people under a helicopter to save the others. In the second, NCOs sneak onto a train using one ticket by hiding in the bathroom, while officers fail to use the same trick. In the third, two officers pray for help crossing a river but struggle greatly, while a third is turned into an NCO and easily finds the bridge upstream. The document suggests NCOs deserve respect for their problem-solving abilities and willingness to sacrifice for others.

The document discusses national disaster databases from a regional perspective. It describes how several countries in Asia have implemented systems to systematically collect disaster data over many years using a common methodology. This involves training local professionals to record disaster events, causes, impacts, and losses. The collected data provides insights into risk patterns and helps inform disaster planning, preparedness and response decisions. It has supported damage assessments and relief efforts for recent disasters like the Indian Ocean tsunami.
The document describes a Countrywide Incident Alert Network to capture real-time incident alerts and reports from district levels and alert authorities at district, state, and national levels. The network provides quick access to situation reports on events, effects, and needs. It allows for verification and filtering of information at the state level from line departments and third party analysis of time-series disaster data for trends, patterns, and risk identification using maps and graphs. Archived information includes situation reports, alerts, damage assessments, needs assessments, relief requirements, intervention gaps, and long-term recovery plans.

1. Three stories are presented that contrast Naval Officers and Navy Chiefs. In the first, a Chief volunteers to let go of a rope holding 11 people under a helicopter, sacrificing himself for the others. In the second, Navy Chiefs sneak onto a train using only one ticket by hiding in the bathroom, while Naval Officers fail to use the same trick. The third story depicts Naval Officers struggling to cross a river through prayer, while a converted Navy Chief simply crosses the nearby bridge.
2. The document suggests Navy Chiefs are more self-sacrificing, resourceful, and practical than Naval Officers. Chiefs are praised for their problem-solving abilities and willingness to forgo personal benefits for the good of the Navy.
The document contains 3 stories that highlight the resourcefulness of Navy Chiefs compared to Naval Officers:
1. During a rescue situation, a Chief volunteers to sacrifice himself to save others, demonstrating their selfless commitment to the Navy.
2. Chiefs work together to share a single train ticket by squeezing into a toilet together, outwitting Naval Officers who fail to understand the Chiefs' strategy when trying it themselves.
3. Three Naval Officers come upon a raging river and attempt to cross through prayer and strength alone, while a Chief consults a map and finds the nearby bridge.

Three short stories highlight the resourcefulness of Navy Chiefs compared to Naval Officers:
1. When a helicopter rope could only hold 10 people, the Chief volunteered to let go to save the others, highlighting their self-sacrifice for the Navy.
2. A group of Chiefs and Officers take a train using one ticket for all the Chiefs by squeezing in a toilet, while the Officers fail to imitate this strategy.
3. Three Officers need to cross a river - the first swims, the second uses a tub, but the Chief simply crosses the nearby bridge, showing greater practical thinking.
Three short stories highlight the resourcefulness of Navy Chiefs compared to Naval Officers. In the first story, a Chief volunteers to let go of a rope holding 11 people under a helicopter, sacrificing himself to save the others. The second story shows Chiefs squeezing into a toilet together to share a single train ticket, while Naval Officers fail to understand this strategy. The third story portrays a Chief efficiently crossing a river by using a bridge on a map, unlike Naval Officers who struggle directly in the water through strength and prayer alone. Chiefs are praised for their self-sacrifice, teamwork and intelligence compared to Naval Officers.
1) In the first story, a group of salespeople and operations staff were dangling from a helicopter on a rope over a river. The rope was not strong enough to hold all of them, so one person had to let go. The operations person volunteered to sacrifice himself, noting that operations always supports the company without recognition.
2) In the second story, a group of salespeople and operations staff took a train. The operations staff had purchased only one ticket but managed to sneak on board, while the salespeople who each had tickets were impressed by this trick. When returning, the salespeople tried the same trick but were unprepared when the operations staff didn't buy any tickets at all.

The document contains 3 stories that compare HR officers and accountants:
1. A group dangling from a helicopter rope has to let one person go, and the accountant volunteers, giving a moving speech. However, the HR officers begin clapping and fall instead.
2. A group of accountants and HR officers take a train using one ticket. The accountants squeeze into a toilet when the conductor comes, passing the ticket under the door. When the HR officers try the same trick, the accountants have no tickets but still pass.
3. Three HR officers need to cross a raging river. The first prays for strength and crosses through difficulty. The second prays for tools as well and crosses

The document discusses several nautical phrases and their origins:
1) "Freeze the balls off a Brass Monkey" refers to how very cold temperatures could render cannons inoperable by causing the brass and iron components to shrink at different rates.
2) "Square meals" describes the basic wooden platters used to hold sailors' daily food rations, with overflow food deemed as "being on the fiddle."
3) "Splice the main brace" was a signal to give sailors an extra ration of rum, originally ordered for hazardous tasks like repairing main yardarm ropes.
- The Spanish Armada "cut and ran" in 1588 when threatened by English fire ships in the narrow English Channel, which involved cutting ropes and sails to make a quick escape and cutting anchor cables marked with buoys for later recovery.
- "The bitter end" refers to letting out the entire anchor cable, up to the very end of the roughly 6-ton, 120-ton breaking strain cable on large ships of the line.
- "Nipper" derives from young, agile boys who helped haul in anchors and cables using ships' capstans by binding or "nipping" together anchor cables and messengers.
This document discusses the origins and meanings of several nautical phrases and terms. It explains that the phrase "to be taken aback" refers to a ship suddenly moving backwards due to a shift in the wind. It describes how the phrase "to take the wind out of your sails" came to mean gaining an advantage over another from a royal decree. It also outlines the origins of measuring a ship's speed in knots, which originated from using a wooden log and rope to time how long it took to travel the length of the ship.
This document provides definitions and explanations for several nautical terms:
- Starboard refers to the right side of a ship when facing forward. Port refers to the left side.
- "Fanny" was a nickname given to tinned mutton issued to sailors in 1867 that was later used to refer to various containers on ships.
- A "mess" was an area on a ship where a group of sailors would eat and sleep together, with an assigned cook and hierarchy.
- During mealtimes, the mess cook would distribute food in a blindfolded drawing to ensure fairness.
The document describes areas of the orlop deck of HMS Victory. The orlop deck was located below the waterline and was used as the doctor's aid station during battles. It also housed quarters for midshipmen, the purser's storeroom, the doctor's cabin, the carpenter's workshop, the gunner's workshop near the gunpowder magazine, and areas to store crew members' sea chests and other possessions. Nelson was brought wounded to the orlop deck after a battle and died there three hours later.
The document describes the daily food rations and meal preparation aboard British Navy ships in the 18th century. Groups of men formed "messes" to share and cook their rations. One mess member would be blindfolded each day to distribute portions of meat in an attempt to be fair. Fresh food was scarce and biscuits were weeviled and maggot-filled. Meals consisted mainly of salt beef, pork, peas and oatmeal, with occasional fresh vegetables. Livestock was also carried on long voyages.
The document discusses punishments aboard Royal Navy ships, specifically flogging with the "cat". It describes the cat as lengths of heavy cord used to lacerate a man's back after his shirt was removed. Witnesses said a man's back would resemble "chopped liver" after just a few strokes. For especially serious crimes like mutiny, a man could be flogged around the entire fleet, receiving over 300 strokes and rarely surviving. A lesser punishment was "running the gauntlet" where a man was lashed by the entire crew as he ran between two rows of men.
The document provides details from a tour of HMS Victory, Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar. It describes that there were 821 men onboard during the battle, with 57 dead and 102 wounded.

OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

1. OFFICERS and SERGEANTS (or any other Service Senior NCOs) 3 Real Life Stories
2. The First Eleven people were dangling below a helicopter on a rope. There were ten Officers and one Sergeant. Since the rope was not strong enough to hold all the eleven, they decided that one of them had to let go to save all the others.
3. They could not decide who should be the volunteer. Finally the Sergeant said he would let go of the rope since Sergeants are used to doing everything for the good of the Service. They forsake their family, don’t claim all of their expenses and do a lot of overtime without getting anything in return.
4. When he finished his moving speech all the Officers began to clap …
5. Moral: Never underestimate the powers of a Sergeant.
6. The Second A group of Sergeants and a group of Officers take a train to a conference. Each Officer holds a ticket. But the entire group of Sergeants has bought only one ticket for a single passenger. The Officers are just shaking their heads and are secretly pleased that the arrogant Sergeants will finally get what they deserve.
7. Suddenly one of the Sergeants calls out: “The conductor is coming!”. At once, all the Sergeants jump up and squeeze into one of the toilets. The conductor checks the tickets of the Officers. When he notices that the toilet is occupied he knocks on the door and says: “Ticket, please!” One of the Sergeants slides the single ticket under the doors and the conductor continues merrily on his round.
8. For the return trip the Officers decide to use the same trick. They buy only one ticket for the entire group but they are baffled as they realize that the Sergeants didn’t buy any tickets at all. After a while one of the Sergeants announces again: “The conductor is coming!” Immediately all the Officers race to a toilet and lock themselves in.
9. All the Sergeants leisurely walk to the other toilet. Before the last Sergeant enters the toilet, he knocks on the toilet occupied by the Officers and says: “Ticket, please!”
10. And the moral of the story? Officers like to use the methods of the Sergeants, but they don’t really understand them.
11. The Third Once upon a time three Officers were walking through the woods and suddenly they were standing in front of a huge, wild river. But they desperately had to get to the other side. But how, with such a raging torrent? The first Officer knelt down and prayed to the Lord: “Lord, please give me the strength to cross this river! "
12. Ka!! Pow!!!! The Lord gave him long arms and strong legs. Now he could swim across the river. It took him about two hours and he almost drowned several times. BUT: he was successful!
13. The second Officer, who observed this, prayed to the Lord and said: “Lord, please give me the strength AND the necessary tools to cross this river!”
14. Ka!! Pow!! The Lord gave him a tub and he managed to cross the river despite the fact that the tub almost capsized a couple of times.
15. The third Officer who observed all this knelt down and prayed: “Lord, please give me the strength, the means and the ‘intelligence’ to cross this river!”
16. Ka!! Powie!! The Lord converted the Officer into a Sergeant. The Sergeant took a quick glance on the map, walked a few meters upstream and crossed the bridge.
17. Send this to a Sergeant so that they have something to smile about; and to the Officers if you think they can stomach the truth!
